Whole Roasted Chicken RECIPE COURTESY OF ALEX GUARNASCHELLI Level: Easy Total: 2 hr 25 min (includes resting time) Active: 40 min Yield: 3 to 4 servings Ingredients 2 cups pearl onions, peeled 6 medium carrots, halved lengthwise 1/4 cup cheap white wine Olive oil, for brushing One 3 1/2- to 4-pound whole chicken Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 cup chicken stock 1 tablespoon grainy Dijon mustard 3 tablespoons unsalted butter Juice of 1/2 lemon 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon stems and leaves Directions Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Position a rack in the center of the oven. Arrange the pearl onions and carrots in the bottom of a roasting pan. Drizzle with the wine. Set a roasting rack in the center of the pan on top of the vegetables and brush with the oil so that the chicken doesn't stick. Place the chicken, breast-side up, on the rack. Sprinkle the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Put the pan in the center of the oven and roast until the juices run clear or an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh (avoiding bone) registers 165 degrees F. (I calculate cooking about 15 minutes per pound of bird, so for a 4-pound bird I check the juices and temperature after 1 hour of cooking.) Remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest in the pan for at least 10 minutes or up to 20. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board, gently placing it breast-side down so the juices can flow through the breast meat as it rests for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Place the roasting pan with the vegetables on a burner on the stove and add the chicken stock and mustard. Simmer gently, scraping any bits of chicken fat and skin from the bottom. Let the sauce simmer a little with the vegetables, 2 to 3 minutes. Add half the butter and cook, about 1 minute. Remove the vegetables from the pan to a plate. Add the lemon juice, half the tarragon and 1 more tablespoon butter. Allow the butter to melt, then remove the gravy to a serving bowl. Turn the chicken breast-side up on a cutting board and carve. (The cut side will need some seasoning.) Rub the remaining butter onto the carved chicken breast meat and season with salt. Sprinkle with the remaining tarragon. Serve the chicken with the sauce and vegetables on the side. Cook’s Note With a few ingredients and the right equipment, you are there. Any roasting pan with low walls and also a rack to elevate the bird will allow for maximum browning of the skin. For the vegetables, feel free to use defrosted (frozen) peeled pearl onions to save time. The other night, I roasted a chicken for my daughter and we ate about half of it for dinner. I put the other half in the fridge. When I came back later, I discovered my daughter had peeled away the crispy sheet of skin on the other half as a sneaky snack. Who can blame her?
